If you don't use the API, the Maps TOU apply (rather than the API TOU) and your use -- which I presume to be internal business use -- is apparently allowed. You can get KML output, but not straight XML. http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=perkins+st+somerville+ma&daddr=330+Newbury+St%2C+Boston%2C+MA+02115&output=kml I am not a lawyer. You should satisfy yourself about the legality of using a URL like that server-side. I would have recommended including the copyright data in your output (even internally), but it doesn't appear that the KML includes it.
